From: Oscar

Maya is the worst friend. After spending a lot of her disposable income on Kaoru’s sweets, she’d run out of money. And with her birthday being so close, Maya threw herself into even more work to be able to afford what she wanted to get her as a gift. 

She raised the money, thanks to her new theater job (which she loved), but because she focused on that, she hadn’t realized the date until it was too late.

So here she is, panting in front of Kaoru’s door, with a sweets box in one hand and a very long box in the other.

「Kaoru-san, I’m so sorry!!」 she yells out before Kaoru has a chance to say anything. 「I wanted to do something nice for your birthday but it completely passed me by and I’m sorry I’m a terrible friend! I brought these to make up for it but...」

          just running in headfirst isn’t going to help anyone though, and he doesn’t want to be stupid about his approach. he’s never texted the other before, but... this time, it’s an emergency. ( one that might require more than this dingy stick they gave him at the start of everything. )

To: Kaoru From: Oscar

where are you right now? please don’t say golden ward

          ugh. good enough. he presses send, twiddles his thumbs for a bit, before moving to get ready to go. he’ll have to be out the door soon, whether or not she is or isn’t in danger, though he sorely hopes that she’s alright.

          “ so the plan is that if the other me comes after me, i can jump into the water. “ oscar makes a pointed gesture with his hands, drawing his knees closer to his chest. “ and then once they fall in, you can just slap them to hell. “ a ‘pow pow pow’ motion, and then he leans back. kaoru’s look apparently doesn’t please him much, because what oscar replies with is a confused scowl and shrug of his shoulders. “ listen, it’s as good a plan as any. i’d do the same for you if you threw yours on land. “

          “ how is being a fish, anyway? “ he suddenly questions, looking at her. “ have you been okay? “

“ Same as always, aren’t you, Kaoru-san? ” 

Aya floats to the edge of the sand. just shy of where the waves touch the shore. Kaoru looked different, yes, but that picture-perfect aura of hers was unmistakable. Who else would pose while strolling along the beach?

His skateboard came to a stop with a skid as he looked around. He didn’t remembering moving, but apparently he had, and when he woke up...Well, apparently he was in another game! Again!

“Yo-” He pointed to the first person he saw, sliding his skateboard under his arm and jogging up.

“You know what’s goin’ on here? ‘Cause I ain’t got a clue!” Rubbing the back of his head, the teen seemed almost oblivious to some super-powered chaos going on a few blocks over.

Kanon visited an aquarium today. It was a nice day overall, but on her way home, she suddenly got lost again. It was no surprise though, she already got lost in surroundings she grew up in, how was she supposed to find the way back in an island she didn’t even live one week in yet? 

She just wanted to start crying, before she decided to hold the tears back and ask people around for the right route to take. But clumsy as she is, she bumped into someone shortly after. A tall girl with purple hair, and as soon as she turned around to see who walked into her, Kanon couldn’t believe her luck in this situation.

“Kaoru-san... you’re always the one finding me whenever I’m lost... You’re really so reliable!”

concerned. / @falseromeo

of course he didn’t. he couldn’t even say he was lost. to be lost, you’d have to have some sort of destination in mind. he recognizes the voice, though - anyone would. stopping in his tracks, he’s almost frozen to the spot, before slowly turning around, fake smile plastered on his face.

“kaoru-san! i didn’t expect to see you out this late,” he laughs, scratching at the back of his neck. “oh, no, i was just... taking a little walk! hey, thanks for getting rimu back to me, by the way. afton and i were really worried.
